OSLO, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Norway's natural gas output
rose in July from the previous month but lagged an official
forecast, while crude oil narrowly missed expectations, the
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) said on Tuesday.
    Natural gas production in July rose to 321.4 million cubic
metres (mcm) per day from 250.7 mcm a month ago, but missed a
forecast of 359.3 mcm by 10.5%, the regulator said on its
website.
    Crude oil output increased to 1.83 million barrels per day
(bpd) in July from 1.82 million bpd in June, below a forecast of
1.84 million bpd, NPD's preliminary data showed.
